Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Prepare tri-color radishes in beautiful, vibrant hues. Radish is a quintessential winter health food; its diastase enzyme aids digestion, and boiled radish water can help soothe coughs and sore throats. It also has detoxifying properties, helps regulate cholesterol, and prevents constipation. (Source: Foodnuri)
Step 2
Peel and dice the white, red, and purple radishes into approximately 1.5 cm cubes, weighing 200g each. This size makes them easy to blend later and helps maintain their shape in the cakes.
Step 3
Place the cubed radishes of each color into a blender with 100ml of water and blend until smooth. Pass the blended radish mixture through a fine-mesh sieve to extract the clear juice. This step ensures a softer texture for the cakes.
Step 4
To each strained radish juice, add 5 Tbsp potato starch, 4 Tbsp all-purpose flour, 1/2 tsp sugar, and 1/4 tsp salt. Mix well until there are no lumps. The batter should have a pourable consistency, not too thick or too thin. (If it’s too stiff, add a little more water).
Step 5
Heat 2 Tbsp of cooking oil in a non-stick pan over medium-low heat. Ladle about 1/4 cup of batter per cake into the pan. Cook until golden brown on both sides, flipping gently. Cooking over low heat ensures they are cooked through without burning. Transfer the cooked radish cakes to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
Step 6
Your delicious pan-fried tri-color radish cakes are ready! They make a perfect warm snack for the winter season.
Step 7
